Ambre Premier

I decided to seek-out more AFFORDABLE alternatives to Profumum Roma "Ambra Aurea," which I owned and love. But Profumum Roma fragrances only come in 100ml bottles. And the liquid in my last expensive Ambra Aurea bottle turned thick, dark, very oily and super-resinous towards its end. For many reasons, I cannot blow-through a 100ml bottle of Ambra Aurea... But I CAN blow through a 100ml bottle of "Ambre Premiere." To me, Ambre Premier is beautiful, it truly is. Ambre Premier is a very straightforward, rather linear, amber perfume with vanilla. The fragrance's opening is a lovely burst of beautiful amber with LOTS of vanilla. There's a wee-bit of citrus in the opening that dissipates. The drydown is a heavenly blend of amber, vanilla, DEFINITELY rose and patchouli. Becomes noticeably spicier and slightly powdery in the drydown, as well. Ambre Premiere is one of the most feminine-leaning, comforting, amber perfumes I've owned, or experienced. As a side note, I sampled Ambre Premiere about 13 years back, shortly after its launch. I liked it then; I adore it now! LOVE all the way! It's a keeper.

In my opinion it is perfectly unisex perfume. Those into amber type perfumes, regardless of gender, would love it. On my skin I don't have any citruses at all at any point and it stay linear and barely changes after first 2 minutes. I would say it is 50% amber, 25% patchouli, and other 25% equally shared between rose, spices and vanilla. The only difference between opening and drydown is vanilla becomes a bit more evident as it progresses and spices and rose disappear almost completely in last 4 hours. On my skin it lasts 8-12 hours in Fall and Spring, but only 5-6 hours in Winter (since I don't wear any lotions or oils). Sillage and projection drops in Winter too unless I use twice more than in Fall-Spring. It lacks originality, but is safe blind buy. Don't see how anyone would hate it or be irritated by it. In worst case scenario it would be indifference. Very suitable for office use in colder months. Scent 9/10 Originality 5/10 Longevity 8/10 Projection 7/10 Sillage 6/10

Ambre Premier by Jovoy Paris what to say !? Pure magic for my sense of smell. Divine blend of excellent caliber. In the opening notes a masterful minuet between light citrus chords and warm épices notes, in the dry a symphonic heart of rose emerges which is sealed with a dry down that magically catapults into the east; the empire of the senses ... an erotic elixir, very luxurious, where the sweetness of vanilla is expertly blended with the mysticism of amber, a sublime rarity, which time makes powdery and impalpable. Sensory experience that I invite to try for all amber lovers. Pure orgasm. Surprising sillage, amber and warm spicy. The duration for me is infinite. Absolute love.

From the notes and my nose, this seems like another boring amber perfume that is a weak skin scent after half hour, and it’s been done by tons of other perfumers. I have decants all over the place of these same kinds of weak boring amber perfumes. Dont get me wrong it’s still a very nice scent, just that it’s been done before. I like Jovoy, some of my most beloved perfumes come from Jovoy, but they also have put out a bunch of duds, imho . This one being one of them. I’m disappointed, I expected so much more from Jovoy. I love amber scents and am always looking for a best mode Amber, patchouli, rose, musk perfume. Til then I will have to use up the decants I have.

Elegant amber with herbaceous (slightly medicinal) opening and beautiful soft vanilla in the base. It’s very well balanced. Of course, it’s strong, but it’s not in-your-face type of fragrance. It has a round patchouli that is hard to find. Lovely! Ps: for me it’s better than Ambre 114, because geranium in there is giving off a barbershop type of vibe. Follow me on IG: scent.guide
